"California" lyrics

Remember when we were in California
Groovin' down on to sunset
Well, I wanted just to love you
Nah, I didn't wanna let you down
Remember when we were up till sunrise
Higher than a flying kite
And I saw you in the moonlight
Oh I, I nearly died

Well, I wanted just to love you
Didn't wanna let you down
Well, I wanted just to love you
Didn't wanna let you down

Oh heavenly lady dance September
I wanted to go to Chicago
But whenever that I'd be there
I'd get telephone vertigo
This is the city of fallen angels
But you could feel it magnetise
Yes, I wanted just to tell you
But the pretty moments just passed me by

Remember when we were in California
I could taste the mango
The leopard ran through the moonrise
But it's still stuck up on the slope
Remember when we were in California
I played a couple nights at The El Rey
Oh girl, and the rain was back in London
And, oh did it, did it fall down

Go on rain, just fall on me
Do it, Lex

Well, I wanted just to love you
Didn't wanna let you down
Oh well, I, I wanted just to love you
I didn't wanna let you down
